In the end it depends... but you won't be convicted for circumventing the DVD and copying it to your own hardware... it'll just be the act of sharing it with a few thousand of your closest, most personal friends on the internet.
Whatever happened to unlocking phones? There was a huge stink about that. Petitions were signed. Legislation then bogged down as it always does. After two years(!) congress finally passed something, but
"the unlocking exemption will only last until the Librarian of Congress's next rulemaking, scheduled to happen in 2015."
This would have been the time to reverse that decision, no? WTH is there no mention of the reversal of that decision? Does this mean we're right back to square one?
